Hi guys, Been away a while, and figured I'd jump right back in. I have not tried bi/tri mix. I still cant get my head around sticking myself with a needle. Viagra or Cialis is only 50% effective...
I paid my Doctor to tall my wife that I wasn't allowed to do the dishes for 12 weeks. LOL, seriously though, I am in the camp that 6 weeks may be too early. Ask your surgeon, but alsolisten to your...
Have to schedule sex life around a little blue pill. Leak occasionally. Like straining to loosen a stuck bolt, or when falling asleep in an upright position, like sitting on the bus. It sucks, but...
This may not be helpful to most, but I found it interesting and educational, and (sort of) on topic. http://clipnation.com/science-morning-wood ...
I am currently 11 months out of robotic surgery. I can achieve an erection with the aid of Viagara, on my own I can only get to 1/2 staff. I am not complaining, after 11 months of nothing, I AM...
Congrats, nice story. Mine is similar, I had been using the VED, and all three pills (not together of course), and was planning on talking to my uro on my 1 year anniversary about injectables, when...
Well not quite yet, more like 11 months out of robotic surgery, but I felt like posting early. Many of the postings I've read here over the past year gave me hope, and i hope I can spread that. PSA...

I have been posting random thoughts regarding Prostate Cancer Awareness month on my facebook page, about the benefits of early detection, etc, etc. Yesterday at Rosh Hashana services, a casual...
I would say that you should celebrate, but looks like you already did. (wink, wink, nod, nod)....
Excellent....
My wife has been my absolute rock through out all of this sh**. Without her support both physically (making doctors appts, keeping records, getting copies of old lab reports, making sure I had...
I heard that they will hand out 150,000 condoms for the games. Whose lame brain idea was that, keeping the best physical specimens in the world from reproducing?...
I'm still in the "no-way-in-hell-could-i-give-my-self-an-injection-in-the-penis" group. Even though 99% of my HW brothers say it's no big deal, I still can't wrap my head around that. Next Uro appt...
golfnooch said... frankly, i chose my path not because of how I wanted to live, but rather to be alive for those around me. I know EXACTLY how you feel. This is the most depressing thing I have ever...
Saddened by your bad luck. Hopefully your doc can come up with a creative solution that will work out for you without the pain and disapointment....
Sending prayers and good vibes for the best possible outcome. Your mental strength inspires everyone here....
Congrats....
Hang in there, It gets better quickly. The "pain in the butt" as I liked to call it went away in 1-2 weeks....
Good for you (and Mrs Lumberjack). My friend down the block (a 10 year survivor of PC, swears by them). No success here, but hoping it's just a matter of time....
Jerry - Awesome. My best time ever was 30:30. Maybe next year I'll beat that....
I forgot to add that I solicited friends and relatives to support me, and raised over $1,100....
Rob, "A little warm" in Houston, is "blistering heat" up here in NJ. Temperature in central NJ at race time was 62. Just right for me....
Good luck. Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way....
This weekend I ran in the American Cancer Society's Run For Dad, a fundraiser for prostate cancer research and education. The event was a huge success with over 500 runners. It was a beautiful day...
Not perfect, but definitely satisfying (both physically and mentally)....

142 ... My insurance covers 10 per month, also regardless of strength. I do the same ... cut them down to 5's. I will try the under the tounge method. Problem is the Cialis gave me awful...
So far no luck with cialis or viagra. However, I only use the low dose cialis (5mg) daily, and although my erection is improving day by day, (still not ready for prime time) I dont know if this is a...
This morning my wife ran out, and reminded me that she'll be home around noon (no kids home) and we try them out. me: where did you put the samples? her: my knitting bag me: thanks, I want to read...
Thanks for chiming in Terry....
Thank you all so very much, I appreciate all the anecdotal stories. Seeing my Urologist on Thursday... Lots to talk about. Thanks...
I'm going to the Uro next week, and expect to talk about the next steps in my ED recovery. Short story, I'm 7 months out, no erection yet (sufficient for penetration), been on cialis 5mg per day,...
My kids were 12, 14, and 19. All were very concerned for me, and we were as open as we could be with them about the risks, etc. My older two are adopted, but my youngest (a boy) asked the hardest...
I'm a few years younger than you, and had robotic surgery, but it took a solid 4 months to get down to one pad a day, and 5-6 months to go to 'panty liners' for that occasional squirt. Everybody...
So sorry for your loss. May the memory of the good times comfort you and serve as a blessing....
Thanks, at six months out, I have plateaued, that is, that I am 95% dry, but still suffer from the ocasional drip. Kegels got me to where I am (and I am extreemly thankful, but dont seem to be...
Depends on the lab and the sensitivity of thier testing equipment. Generally a lab will put a "<" (less than) sign before the score to indicate that it is undetectable in their particular test,...
If the lab report says < (less than) it means that it is below detectable amount by that lab. (therefore, for all intents and purposes...ZERO.) CONGRATS Z06MAN....
I am 6 months out, and YES it does get better, for some quickly, and others slowly. Keep up on your kegels, Walk as muck as you can, and (contrary to what you may think) Drink lots of water. you are...
I am 6+ months out of surgery. Both urologists, (The surgeon, and my 'regular' urologist) recommend the cialis route. I get the 20's and cut them into quarters (also insurance reasons). I also pump,...

BCBS approved it first, then denied it. We are currently in dispute. I threatened the company that I was going to return it for a full refund, and they became allies in the fight with BCBS....

Keep the faith. Sending positive vibes from here....
I am six months out of Robotic Surgery. 90+% continent at present. The only time I leak is under either high stress movements (like moving furniture), or when I am extremely tired, and in a sitting...
